Rated 4 out of 5 by tonyDallas Not for everyone
I have seen a few negative reviews for this shaft but I really like them and haven't experienced the issues some others have. I play the 70-X cut to 44.5 inches (not tipped) with a Callaway Big Bertha Alpha and consistently get 290-310 yards (driver swing speed is 113mph).
Sure there are better shafts out there and it's not the longest shaft in my opinion but I'm accurate with it and I'm happy to lose a few yards in order to find the fairway more often. I tried a few other shafts in-between using this one but always end up coming back to it and back to my 65% FIR stat.
The one thing the shaft does not respond well to is a "taking it easy" swing due to the torque. You really need to swing at the ball purposely with this shaft else you tend to lose loads of distance. There is the perfect amount of torque for me to feel the shaft load but also to feel when I haven't quite loaded it properly so in my opinion for me it gives me the response I need.
For the price it is worth it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by TrueLefty Aldila shafts bring consistency
After waiting several years for the price to come down on Aldila's Proto shafts, my Driver and 3 wood now reap the benefits of this amazing technology. The Aldila 70 not only makes solid drives longer but also provides generous roll-outs. Gone are the days of sky high shots that sit when they land. Thanks to these improvements the lighter Proto 60 shaft was installed in the 3 wood. My satisfaction level is so high from lower scores that the 7 wood shaft is next to be replaced with one!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Blizzard Solid shaft a little twisty
This is a very solid shaft that I would recommend to players with a smooth tempo. The shaft is a little twisty and you can create a lot of torque without having a lot of lag in your golf swing. My swing speed is right around 110 and I swing the Stiff flex. I would like to try the X. Overall great shaft but, i'm not too keen on the price tag. Try it before you buy it.
